Taking a trip to the Middle East is like taking a trip to San Quentin prison in Cali and walking the cell blocks in a bikini. What you think gonna happen?
LOL, you mean the Dubai Tourism Board is. I'm sure they are sending Rolex's to every Travel agent along with a gala dinner invite to promote their "beautiful city".
I am inclined to agree with Christine. In such countries, we must be even more prudent what we do and especially where we do it. Lots of european women live in thesxe countries without any problem. But drinking with men is probably not wise.
It's unfortunate that women anywhere have to live under the yoke of men in this manner. I consider the modern freedoms of developed societies the baseline for what the human race is entitled to. I can't handle pre-modern societies at all.
when you go to other countries...your ass better be up on their culture so you can make a wise decision to go there this story is waaay different than what the poor woman went through but u better know what is up http://www.corpun.com/sgju9403.htm I remembered this. people in america were whining about this but you better knmow what goes in other people house
Lots of western women visit these countries without a problem - as your co worked testified. What country is safe for women ?
She wasn't alone, she was with her husband. I travel a lot and I usually travel alone. I have never felt threatened going to Spain, Italy, England or the US for example. I was a little uncomfortable in Turkey, where even the waiters at a 5 star hotel approached me cause I was alone. I went to Morocco with a female friend and I don't think I would go there alone after what we experienced. If your question means that you can get raped in every country in the world... yes, that's true. Most women actually get raped by someone they know. But that's not the point of the discussion I think.
Western women are always going to attract attention in the countries you mentioned and you dont even have to be dressed sexy. Its certainly not advised to travel alone. But it would be a pity if we saw all muslim countries as being unfriendly to western women. And as I stated earlier, lots of people visit countries like Dubai, without any problems.
